- Configuring servers
- Describes connectivity, authorization, setting up control tables, setting up the replication programs, and setting up journals.
- Registering tables and views as sources
- Describes how to identify tables and views as replication sources, specify which columns you want to replicate, and set the properties for capturing data and changes from the source.
- Subscribing to sources
- How to plan and define a subscription for your target tables or views so that they receive the source data and the changes from those sources.
- Password file management
- Explains how to store user IDs and passwords in an encrypted password file.
Administering
